Got a webinar invite from Jenne for the IP Office R12 release.
Anyone else see this?

Should be an interesting webinar. Moving the operating system to Rocky Linux.
Here is an article on migrating to Rocky.
I'm sure Avaya has its own script. We will soon find out.

Thanks for the update.

I see web collaboration is no longer supported. Did anyone ever use this?

 

[TomMills]

Not outside of benching it up internally. Never saw it used in the wild.

Well that was an interesting call. Besides the fact that you could not understand what the presenter was saying its basically the same steps we used to upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1
UCMv 1 not supported and V2 will be end of life 8/2024

 

[sizbut]

UCM V1 hasn't been supported at all since 2020 - it went end of sale in 2015! (it just been pure luck that it uses the same software imag as the V2 so you could still upgrade it).

Stuck in a never ending cycle of file copying.

 

[IPOTS]

I agree, if you have a UCMv1 running on 11.1 your are lucky.
Avaya will only support 64 bit on R12.
That means moving them to an app server or virtual machine.

CentOS7 is going end of life and no further security updates will be available.
Thats why they are moving to Rocky Linux

 

[telecomtekperson]

Some of the statements by the attendees were pretty shitty. It was a technical preso from development

 

[Westi]

I was not present but are there actually any new features?
Security with Rocky Linux aside is there actually anything new there that we can expect or did they simply streamline the system and took out what nobody wanted in the first place?

I agree, they were brutal. Regardless of weather this was a technical presentation doesn't excuse the presenter not being able to convey the message due to the fact she could not speak english.
All she did was read the slides. Nothing technical about that. They should get a presenter that can speak clearly and be understood.

 

[gkittelson]

Agreed. Reading slides is not a technical presentation. They could have just said, this is what is different about the upgrade process from before and then had someone available for technical questions...we have a million of them and asking about the upgrade process wasn't high on my list, since I assumed it would be as difficult as before at best.

What about everything besides the upgrade process?

 

[telecomtekperson]

Distribution will have more presentations that are more marketing focused.
Basically, IP Office Subscription will be released in NA, IPv6 with SBC is about it.

 

[ipohead]

There's a good summary at IP Office Assistance

 

[ipohead]

If you go the Knowledgebase you can see all the R12 docs!

 

[IamaSherpa]

The new R12 docs in the KB seem just R11.x renamed

 

[Westi]

Shows you what to expect from the "new" R12
